| Summary/Abstract |
An exciting period of progress and change began in Europe in the 14th century. Known today as the Renaissance peroid, this was a great time when painters, sculptors, and scholars rediscovered the great works of ancient Greece and Rome. Michelangelo lived in Italy during this time, and is considered to be one of the greatest masters of the Renaissance. This book profiles major artists of the European Renaissance, and provides glimpses of developments in art in other parts of the world during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
